Description 

Straight up the deepest part of the main overhang. All the holds on the start are facing the wrong way. Pinch left, jump up and grab the downward-facing flake. Undercling and finish on football pinches. Sit start of this problem would be harder and probably has not been done.

Pad.

One time when I was grovelling on the undercling of the downward-facing flake, a small bat flew out of the crack in the back. I nearly didn't fall off.

I did a static start to this problem tonight. It was V3-ish. The sit start is the next project.
